Github ssh connection issues

Hey,

I’m not sure if the docs are unclear or something is wrong, but I couldn’t use either limit-access-to-actor together with limit-access-to-users or limit-access-to-actor by itself (introduced in #8).

The ssh command I used was:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/gh_current_key b9mSRLZzh0Br3aVNmSNE:MTAuMjQ0LjAuNzY6MjI=@uptermd.upterm.dev
b9mSRLZzh0Br3aVNmSNE:MTAuMjQ0LjAuNzY6MjI=@uptermd.upterm.dev: Permission denied (publickey).

I also tried stripping the password string, as the connection string instruction in the docs is a little ambiguous.

ssh -i ~/.ssh/gh_current_key [e-mail] 
Connection closed by 157.230.199.75 port 22

To sanity check I tried doing an ssh connection test to github, which worked fine:

ssh -T -i ~/.ssh/gh_current_key [e-mail] 
Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 2222
Hi Folcon! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

Not sure what the problem is or if this is an upstream issue…

Commenting here since this can help

I was trying this github action & was facing Connection closed by 157.230.199.75 port 22 when trying to ssh to ubuntu-latest github runner from my local machine . Upon further debugging came to know it was because of ssh-rsa public key being used (reference https://github.com/owenthereal/upterm/issues/93#issuecomment-1045387517)

Followed below steps , generating ed25519 key & using it for ssh to uptermd.upterm.dev worked fine for me.

ssh-keygen -o -a 100 -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -C "yourusername@company"
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 <somestring>:<somestring>=@uptermd.upterm.dev

One of the commits removed the instructions for the workarounds: https://github.com/owenthereal/upterm/commit/0f410ca8f3f88119a570adf13dae37d9817ae894
